Welcome
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we look forward to seeing you at the 2019 TCT | Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meeting of ASBMT and CIBMTR (formerly the BMT Tandem Meetings) in Houston, Texas.
Our five days of plenary sessions, concurrent scientific and oral abstract sessions, Meet-the-Professor lunches and symposia will present recent progress in basic science, translational research and clinical studies in all areas of blood and marrow transplantation and cellular therapy. This year we expect more than 3,700 attendees.
In keeping with a growing tradition, parallel conferences of specialized sessions will be attended by more than 1,400 transplant nurses, clinical research professionals, BMT pharmacists, BMT center administrators, and advanced practice professionals. We continue to host a Pediatric BMT Program on Thursday that highlights the specific issues of cellular therapy in children and adolescents. New this year! A Quality, Value, and Health Econ Session will be offered on Thursday that will run parallel to the concurrent sessions and into the afternoon.
